not alot of action on here so i'll start a new thread.
do you have any other hobbies.i'm starting to get into woodworking but not real good at it and the start up equipment cost is a little high but i'm getting there

 

[groundhog devastate]

If I'm not reloading, I'm shooting or hunting or working on guns or reading about guns or talking on here about guns! Only one hobby with a few different directions that all lead back to one central place and that's GUNS!! Don't have time or money for any more hobbies!! GHD

I'm an addicted tinkerer. I tinker on my Dodge 4x4 in the Summer and my Camaro in the winter (since I drive them on the opposite schedule). I tinker with wood work, using only non-power hand tools. My dad is a hell of a lot better than I am, but I do have a servicable shoe rack and two book cases that I made myself.

When its to cold or dark outside, I read extensively and play with my computer.

Oh, and I swim 3 days a week. Its good exercise, and a great way to clear your mind. Last Thursday I cleared it a little too much and managed to swim into the wall. No kidding, I was off in la-la land and was doing the backstroke and didn't notice that I was getting near the end of the pool and bumped my head against the wall. Luckily for me, I don't swim fast enough to hurt myself and no one else noticed so my ego was safe.

Fishing in the summer and trapping in the winter. Got a big fat Lynx Friday. Have snared 91 fox so far this winter with 35 snares out. Now I'm almost giving away what a young hunter in VA is going to be receiving fairly soon in the mail.

I was going to say rock climbing, but that's more of an activity than a hobby, and I haven't done much of that in the last couple of years. On top of guns, I'd say it would have to be computer games and models. I like WWII German tanks and equipments, usually 1/32 scale models. I bought an airsprayer last year but have yet to use it. Now that I'm in my new house this summer I should get a chance to finish putting together the JadgPanther I started a while back.

I fish, hunt, backpack and camp. I fish offshore, mostly with a speargun, so it is almost hunting. I backpack primarily in spring and summer although I have combined some camping and hunting or fishing trips.

I have tried trapping, but it was to get rid of some problems we were haveing with beavers. A local trapper helped me with some sets and we got four. Then later I was able to get rid of several more on my own. Recently Louisianna implemented a bounty on neutra rats and I have trapped some from our hunting club and sent the tails to a friend in LA. He turns them in and we split the bounty.

AlleninAlaska, You have captured my interest with the statement about the hunter in VA. Could you expand?

For health reasons,I had to give up hunting.Started bench shooting this year and really enjoy it.When I'm not at the range,I am working in the yard.I guess my main hobby now is my 6 year old grandson.Got him a Red ryder this Christmas and this summer I think he will be ready for a bolt action 22.We will spend alot of time at the range or in the woods.

Just about everything revolves around the outdoors for me. The guns, shooting and collecting, bass fishing is way up there as is canoes on the rivers.

 

[wipala]

I fish in the Spring through early Summer and again in the Fall. I also draw and paint portraits of people . I also read anything I can get my hands on:ar15:

 

[punchie]

I can only afford one hobby. Between work, wife, and guns there is gust no time or money for anything else!!!

 

[outdoortexas]

Hey Wimpala, good to see you joining us!

Didn't know you were an angler too, send me your addy and I'll get you a comp issue of the magazine.

Had a chance to fire off the big 8 mm yet?


Punchie, I've said it before, I spend so much on buying guns I can't afford bullets! That's why I collect the ol' rusty 22's, they're neat to touch and look at even if I don't shoot 'em.

 

[wipala]

Yes OUTHOUSE TEJAS, Iv'e fired 5 rounds of the 8mm Magnum. A lot of fun, but nothing like the 460 ( the most I'm willing to fire of that in a row is 2) At present I own a 264 Win mag , a 300 win , the 8mm mag , and the 460. On my salary I can't afford to shoot them often but one day the 460 and the 8 and I are going to Africa (When I win the lotteryrolleyes: )

 

[Edward429451]

Hobbies? Oh, reloading, casting, reading, camping, small gaming, big gaming, fish once in a while. Playing Chess. Lately I started delving into the world of swaging bullets. Got a Corbin CSP-1 press and one set of dies in .451. Its pretty satisfying to design your own bullets, fun too.:2guns:
